Looks like George Lucas's Jedi powers were unable to foresee the future in that 2005 interview.

It's no secret that "Star Wars: Episode VII" has been in the works for a few years, this time directed by J.J. Abrams. This past week, the new cast was officially announced, and here at 60 Minutes, we found it especially interesting, given the Lucas denial in our archives.

The full 60 Minutes interview with George Lucas, produced by Rome Hartman, aired on March 13, 2005.

Editor's Note: Since this interview aired in 2005, George Lucas sold his company, Lucasfilm, to Disney for $4 billion in 2012.
